Michael Creed (Cork North West, Fine Gael)

I commend Deputy Noonan for tabling the motion before the House and for affording me an opportunity to make a few brief comments on it. The country yearns for stability more than anything else; political stability and economic stability. The only real way that can be delivered is by the people having their say in a general election. Politicians do not like elections at the best of times. I am sure the Minister of State, Deputy Mansergh, is not particularly looking forward to an election either.
